What does it mean to be adopted as sons of God?

Answered in 3 sources

Being adopted as sons means that believers are no longer mere servants but are recognized as children and heirs of God (Galatians 4:5-7).

The doctrine of adoption is pivotal in understanding our relationship with God through Christ. Galatians 4:5-7 explains that God sent forth His Son to redeem those under the law so that we might receive the adoption of sons. This adoption entails not just a change in status but a transformation in identity; believers are heirs of God. No longer are they merely servants, but they are embraced as beloved children, enjoying the rights and privileges that come with sonship. This profound truth assures Christians of their place in God’s family and the eternal inheritance that awaits them.
